3+ feet tall 65-70 days to flower Zinnia elegans

The quintessential zinnia! Fully double and fire engine red with bright yellow centers attracting pollinators from near and far, Benary’s Giant Red blooms are often 4 to 6 inches wide on long, strong stems perfect for cutting. Like all zinnias, Benary’s Giant Red is prolific and their 2+ week vase life is nothing short of impressive. We also appreciate Benary’s Giant Red’s low susceptibility to powdery mildew, making it possible to harvest their copious blooms right up to frost. Zinnias thrive in gardens as well as raised beds and containers & the more you harvest, the more they bloom!

Organic Benary’s Giant Deep Red Zinnia

3+ feet tall 65-70 days to flower Zinnia elegans

Description

These massive ivory blooms, like high summer clouds in a sea of green, float above long, strong stems perfect for cutting. Fully double, Giant White is dahlia-like with excellent vase life and impressive abundance. We also love Giant White for her low susceptibility to powdery mildew, so we’re harvesting her copious blooms right up to frost.

To see if a zinnia is at peak harvest for cutting, gently shake the stem from about eight inches below the bloom. If the stem bends even slightly, it’s not quite ready. Once the stem is stiff, harvest! We find zinnias last well over one week in a vase and often two, especially when kept out of direct sunlight.

Zinnias thrive in gardens as well as raised beds and containers & the more you harvest, the more they bloom!

At Fruition, we sow organic zinnia seeds indoors in soil blocks four weeks before final frost or directly into the soil after final frost with one foot between plants.
